This is awesome!
Good for the sport.
I want that car.

Ridiculous?
Notice that the stands are PACKED and the stadium is filled to the brim.
An enormous portion of the audience is likely there to see Bolt put on a good show in the 100m, and he most certainly delivered.
Quite honestly, he single-handedly accomplishes more for the sport than EVERY distance runner combined
Do you ever watch SuperCross? It is arace but they highlight the stars with similar antics at introduction time. It works.
As previous poster said, stands were packed. Why not add a little flair to the event! Make it fun. Marketing 101.
Please don't come here with stupid posts by trying to usurp my name.
Imagine if Rupp entered Prefontaine that way!?
"Quite honestly, he single-handedly accomplishes more for the sport than EVERY distance runner combined"
I would say more than every other t&f athlete combined, period.
Like I said before, to the average person, Bolt IS t&f.
Bolt can do what he wants. He OWNS t&f.
That was the single most retarded vehicle I've ever seen. Whose is it, Willy Wonka's? The Wizard of Oz's? I swear I've seen that thing before.
I think that in Jamaica they should bring him out in a grass car, the symbolism would be hilarious.
Better yet, make a grass bus or van, and transport all the competitors. Or a grass float!

Wearing a breathe-rite band-aid or a black mask?

That was terrific and is just the sort of colorful silliness that track needs.
On top of being the fastest man in the world, Bolt is a showman, which is what track needs to build an audience.
We need more colorful, extroverted track and field athletes like Bolt, Lolo Jones, etc, and they need to be played up like with the car.
On top of that, Bolt then delivered. If he had run over 10 again, it would have looked pretty sad in retrospect.
Lolo Jones is a virgin bro.
I agree TaF needs more show. Some cocky and color would be great. Add some fun please.
On the other hand I was waiting to see Bolt jump off the top rope of that Popemobile and clothesline his competitors in a cage match... but I must admit.. it brought a chuckle.

As much as I think that is none of my business, her saying comment about virginity got track and field more publicity in the US over the last month than every Diamond League meet and NCAA's combined. So thank you, Lolo.
If someone offered me a ride in that car, I'd take it too.
What is this, I don't even...
